Venice, California crossover thrash/hardcore punk legendsSuicidal Tendencieshave set"The World Gone Mad"as the title of their new album, due on September 30. The follow-up to 2013's"13"disc will be the band's first to feature former SlayerdrummerDave Lombardoand guitaristJeff Pogan, who replacedNico Santoralast month.

Lombardorecently toldMetal WaniaboutST's forthcoming CD: "I think it's very typical and very traditionalSuicidal Tendencies. It's that style. It's [Suicidal Tendencies' frontman]Mike Muirand he was a very special style in which he writes his music and his lyrics and his structures. And I love it; I love it. It takes me back to how it all started, which was that punk attitude. I'm very happy to be a part of his organization. I feel very welcomed. I feel very much appreciated, and there's a lot of respect amongst the musicians, and camaraderie. We have a really good time together. We hang out as a band, which is important; I feel it's very important."

In an interview withJump Metal,Muirstated aboutLombardo's musical contribution to the upcomingSuicidal Tendenciesalbum: "It's interesting, because a lot of people, obviously, associate [Dave] with theSlayersound. On some of theSuicidalsongs, it's different musically, and you can see how really a tremendously diverse drummer that he is. I think some of the songs, obviously, people that love his drumming, they're gonna hear it and they're gonna really, really, I think, enjoy it. He's really excited about it. He's getting to play some different kind of things, and it just brings a whole different intensity and rhythmic feel to the band. And he's definitely got the Cuban thing going on, that Latin flavor, where he gets to do a little bit more inSuicidalthan he did inSlayer. I think you hear it and you definitely know it'sDave, but it definitely takes us to another level."

Suicidal Tendencies' last album,"13", came out in March 2013. The band's first studio CD in 13 years sold around 3,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 187 on The Billboard 200 chart.
